Challenge Information
| Topic | Creator | Type | Description |
| Network Design Challenge | West Monroe | Duo | Students will design a networking system reflecting real world client requests that West Monroe has worked on in the past while summarizing their design through graphs, diagrams and verbiage. |
| Field Operation Tracking System (Coding Challenge) | John Deere | Duo | Students will develop a preliminary system to manage fields and field operations performed by farmers! The goal is to allow farmers better management of their agronomic data and get an accurate idea of areas that they can improve their crop yield. This event is a coding challenge and can be coded in any language the user wants! Common choices are Java, C, and Python. |
| Autonomous Driving Challenge | League of Robotic Engineers | Solo/Duo | Students will program a mobile robot to navigate autonomously. |
| Machine Learning Challenge | Data Mine Advisory Board | Duo | Students using Kaggle will compute possible conditional probabilities and will create a decision tree based on the probabilities found. Technologies utilized: Jupyter Notebook or tensorflow or pytorch or pycharm (python knowledge - pandas and numpy and other libraries), laptop/computer |
| Advanced CTF | B01lers (Purdue CTF Team) | Solo | A capture the flag hosted by the Purdue CTF Team. Recommended for students with experience with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or WSL, Binwalk, YARA, Ghidra, GDB, and Wireshark |
| Beginner CTF | Women in Cybersecurity | Solo | An underclassmen only capture the flag competition hosted by Women in Cybersecurity. Competitors will only need a Laptop. |
| Data Science Challenge | ITaP Research Computing | Duo | Students will extract data from a large dataset, while validating quality of data and account for missing data, conducting descriptive analysis, producing informative visualization, and answering high level questions. Utilizes high-performance computing cluster and programming skills. |
| HPC | ITaP Research Computing | Duo | Students will compile and run a real life scientific application using Purdue's supercomputers. The process is computationally intensive and will introduce competitors to the realm of high-performance computing (clusters, schedulers, parallelization, etc.). |
